Help
As we welcome you to our peaceful and secluded place, we are looking for help with a variety of practical tasks that keep our little sanctuary running smoothly.
The main areas we need assistance with are gardening, general cleaning, organizing, and occasional painting. Tasks might include weeding and maintaining the vegetable garden, watering plants, tidying up outdoor spaces, cleaning around the house, helping with sorting and organizing different areas, and giving some buildings or furniture a fresh coat of paint. There may also be other small jobs depending on the season and what’s needed at the time.
I usually ask for about 4–5 hours of help per day, Monday to Friday. Your help with these everyday tasks really makes a big difference and is deeply appreciated.
Outside of the work, there’s plenty of time to enjoy the calm surroundings, go hiking, or explore nature. Depending on the season and your interests, there may also be opportunities to try fishing or learn more about life close to nature.
I hope your time here will be both rewarding and inspiring, and that you’ll enjoy being part of the rhythm and beauty of Håltebyen.
Warm regards,
Mette

The second house, the white one, is even more interesting.
Mette, her daughters and the neighbours are all very welcoming and make you feel like home.
The work was not difficult, garden and house maintenance.
